***** Currently, a thick frown was seen spotting the face of Williams, who had just entered the private booth. He stood patiently by the door and observed as Sarah’s mother continued to call his women all sorts of names. Gradually, thick killing intent began to emanate from his body and slowly covered the room. Subconsciously or consciously, Sarah’s mother's voice began to lower until finally, it stopped. Everyone in the room abruptly shivered for no reason, and then their gazes unconsciously turned toward the door in unison. “Williams!” Immediately forgetting the sudden coldness that just enveloped them, Penelope, Laura, and Dara rushed to Williams. As soon as Williams heard them calling his name and saw them rushing to him, the killing intent oozing out of his body vanished like a puff. As for Sarah who had been lifeless all along, she regained life when she saw Williams and her eyes slowly became red before tears filled them. She watched blankly as her younger sister jump
***** “Where will you go?” “I don’t know. But first, I will leave this town and go to a place no one knows me and start a new life there.” “I…” Gazing at her elder sister, the memories of when the love was still enormous suddenly resurfaced in Dara’s head, and then she felt a nostalgic emotion rising from her. It had been a long time since she last saw this side of her sister, a helpless and pitiful-looking Sarah. Before she even knew it, Dara completely forgot and forgave all the evil things Sarah had done to her in the past. “I hope for you to find the great life you are seeking wherever you go,” Dara eventually said after a prolonged silence, gazing intently at her sister with blurry eyes that were already filled with tears. “Thank you,” Sarah responded with an unusually quiet voice that seemed to hold a lot of emotions she didn’t want to portray. She also stared intently at her younger sister, not knowing what to feel. Honestly, she felt a deep pang of pain that her sist
***** Williams almost couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the old man of the Harrison Family. Although, as said, he was a very old man, no one needs to be told that he was an incredibly strong and healthy one, whose strength was several times beyond most people beneath his age. But now… Williams felt a strong heartache seeing him. Examining the old man who was seated alone on his chair and looking unfocused at his front, Williams sighed internally, feeling a strong pity for him. Unlike the previous two times he had seen him, the old man was currently looking lifeless and hopeless. He appeared several times aged than he was a day ago, and now, he looked so weak that one would refuse to believe that he was the same old man of the previous day. Williams gazed at him for a few more seconds until the man in a Chinese garment called him back to awareness and then he heard the old man calling him“Little Williams, you are here,” the old man’s eyes focused on Williams and a slight smi
***** Back in the kitchen. It took a few more seconds for anybody to return to their senses and react after Williams’ music stopped.The first person to do this was the head chef, who acted as if he had been shocked by an electric current.As soon as he woke up from his stupor state, he did not bother to think for a second about the heavenly music he had just heard. He jumped up and then his face became etched entirely with massive joy. “I know now!!! I know the perfect recipe to prepare for the master.” With this cry of excitement, making him appear like a little boy who had just gotten his most wanted wish as his Christmas present, he started calling out all sorts of ingredients, but unlike earlier, the middle-aged man’s workers, now also filled with smiles started rushing to take out the things called. They appeared as though they had also gotten breakthroughs and they didn’t even notice that all their tiredness, sadness, nervousness, and helplessness had vanished. As for the
***** “Of all the places you could have gone to seek ways to challenge and win the competition, why do you have to go to such a backwater town, tell me?” Inside a magnificently decorated hall, which screams wealth and power, a beautiful woman in her middle age was currently scolding Greg, who has once again regained his arrogant aura. The woman was seated on a couch and presently glaring unhappily at Greg, as though Greg had just done the most unacceptable thing on earth. Feeling the strong disdain and unhappiness in his mother’s voice at the place he picked, Greg couldn’t help but chuckle slightly and then his eyes flashed for a moment with coldness. “You wouldn’t have said that if my initial plan had been successful,” he said slowly, the pain in his voice quite evident. “What plan was it, tell me. This was how you’ve been speaking mysteriously since the competition to choose the next heir had started. I want to know what was in that little village that could have made you come
***** “No sooner had Greg left than the space before his mother flustered for a moment, then suddenly, a portal with a grey color appeared. From this portal, an old woman in an ink-black garment and grey hair, who appeared emotionless stepped out. “Leader,” The old woman went to her knees with a respectful countenance before Greg’s mother. “I want you to initiate the plan I already set for the case of when my son failed to win the competition.” Greg’s mother said without acknowledging the old woman’s greeting at all before thinking for a second and continuing. “I must gain full control of this family, for the comeback of the sect.” “Yes, leader.” The old woman who still appeared emotionless, like a soulless puppet, save from her respectful countenance nodded her head. The old woman was about to stand up when suddenly, Greg’s mother recalled something. “Since I already told my son to wait till the competition is over before he could proceed with revenge, I want you to use the ba
***** “I…” Grace became awkward when she felt Williams’ concerned gaze on herself. She couldn’t help but turn her stare to her hands nervously, which immediately gave Williams a hint of what was going on with her, but he refused to believe it. “I’m sorry for coming late. I had a lot of things going on this morning,” he changed the topic. Grace immediately felt grateful that Williams had changed the topic, which meant she didn’t have to feel awkward again. “It’s okay. You aren’t that late,” she lied, despite feeling that it had been forever since she last saw Williams. Williams who didn’t know that Grace had lied nodded his head, then like he usually does, as though he owned the office, Williams walked to the couch in the resting area and sat comfortably, he then stretched. “What a busy day,” he mumbled to himself. Seeing Williams like this, not acting in any ceremonious way with her, a gentle smile graced Grace’s face, but she hesitated for a moment. “I’m coming, I need to vi
***** “No, I don’t agree with this. How could a nobody from nowhere suddenly become our leader!” “I strongly object to this as well and I will never support a jerk!” “How dare he, who had never received any training suddenly become the leader of ourselves, who had been receiving intensive training since childhood?!” “It’s only goddess Sophia that has the right.” “Yes, that’s right, only Goddess Sophia and Brother Maximus have the right to lead us!” “I don’t want a nobody to be my leader!” “No!” Presently, inside a big lounge in the mansion of Old Man Pu, a series of second-generation-looking young men and women cladded in expensive attire were currently expressing their strong objection. They appear so furious and irritated to the core, acting as though someone had just duped them of their heirs’ position. The lounge was currently boiling so much at this moment that Williams who was on his way was feeling a constant ringing in his ears, making him feel uncomfortable and chil
